Not sure I follow, is this from Table one and text on page 6? Computer Simulations are only as good as the assumptions used. Seems like many variables, plus antenna patterns and with so many problems with installing new masts. Thousands of new masts needed? In So Cal they use plastic Palm trees to hide the masts.

Or something like Goldie Hawn's speculation on the name of an Airline created by the merger of Trans World Airlines and some other company with a name starting with a "T? It sure seems like WAY TOO much cross posting, especially offensive posts. Couth free posters, I guess. But then there is that great concern about the bonded GPRS channels and the resulting deadly handset receiver power output levels. Time to invest in Mu Metal? Snip The $100 billion dollar question remains: are 3G frequencies worth it?
